In some cases, the exterior lever will need to be removed, usually for two reasons (1) rekeying the cylinder or (2) re-handing
the lockset for installation on a door with opposite handing. The following steps will facilitate both scenarios.
Interior
Assembly (G)
Exterior
Assembly (C)
The example below shows the removal of the exterior lever and re-handing from a Right Hand door
installation to a Left Hand door installation.
